Integrating Children's Literature into the Classroom
Reasons
One innovative way to get students excited and engaged in mathematics is to incorporate literature that they love. The wonderful thing about math is that it is everywhere. The same with children's literature: you can read it everywhere and for any reason or purpose. Below are some rich texts that are already made for the purpose of math. On the other hand, anyone can pick an authentic piece of literature and pull mathematics from it. Also provided are a few read aloud videos that show how reading and math can be tied together in the classroom. Genres and Types of Children's Literature
